Alt. Hist. request, Vikings make a go of the "New World"?

[Anomalocaris]

Vikings got unlucky with greenland.  They'd have done fantastically well on the southern shores of the great lakes or up and down the miss by way of the ohio and illinois.

They didn’t get unlucky.  Presence of the Inuits Should have been a major stroke of luck as the little ice age set in in Greenland, and it should have enabled them to settle in and adapt.  But instead they proved not only did they not make their own luck,  they refused to take advantage of the luck handed to them, not for a year or a decade, but three centuries, until they died out.

I think the Viking outlook was rooted much more in adherence to the familiar in Ireland and scandavania than is commonly perceived.
